Description

Lila Nova never imagined her desires could prove so dangerous. And she never dreamed of the exotic turn her life is about to take.Stumbling across a steamy New York laundromat overgrown with ferns, Lila is captivated by the strange owner, Armand. More interested in plants than laundry, in Lila he recognises an untapped energy. A kindred spirit.When Lila betrays his confidence and his livelihood is destroyed, she offers to do anything to make amends, never expecting that his response will lead her to the Yucatán. Through the isolation, mysticism and adventure of the Mexican rainforest, Lila’s eyes are finally opened. And what she discovers about herself is both terrifying and exhilarating.

About The Author

Margot Berwin earned her MFA from the New School in 2005. Her stories have appeared on Nerve.com, in New York Press, and in the anthology, The Future of Misbehavior, published by Chronicle Books. Margot spent years working in advertising, lives in New York City's Union Square, and has a killer collection of plants.

It's very rare that a debut novel of such beauty, power and originality comes right out of the blue … Berwin weaves together an utterly compelling and lush plot … Her prose is also a dream. No wonder Julia Roberts is set to star in the movie version which is currently in development.
